I'm sure we will stay a non voting member of EASA, and will have to abide by the Regs but will not have any say in how they are formed. This will probably be a condition of us keeping access to the free market.
It's a shame as I've been involved in a few EASA RMGs, and most of my input in the meetings begin with the words; "No, sorry, that doesn't work for the UK, we need xxxx instead/add yyyyy as an alternative." Once we pull out of the EU there won't be anyone saying that in those meetings.
Regardless, over the past years the CAA has lost a lot of competency in many areas, as well as headcount, so short of a doubling of its budget, which lets face it is not going to happen, there's no way we could withdraw from EASA.
